We are continuing to move forward.   If you walk by the front and look in, you will not see much happening.  We finished the “what have we got” phase and are moving into the “design” phase.  This includes lots of field trips.  I will be visiting venues, enjoying entertainment, eating food, as well as talking with owners and managers.

Before my trips and visits begin, I am meeting with LOTS of people.  Architect, Interior Design, Sound Design, Engineer.  These people are all trying to get me to hire them.  🙂   I have my General Contractor, Chris Kilmer, on board.  Chris is at least 3rd generation of working on buildings in Greenville.  He knows people who can do all these things and recommends them to me.  I get to meet and share my excitement and vision with them.  We wander around the theater to see what is already there and what they have to work with.  They go away and work up a bid.  I love sharing my ideas and hopes and dreams.   Each time I tell the story I get more excited and more of the bits fall into place.   I can see how this is a very long term work in progress.

The possible date for grand opening is New Years Eve for 2013.  You might wonder why it is close to 18 months away.   Some of you know that I own another business as well – Dairy Manor Bed & Breakfast.  I bought the building in October (I think) and the downstairs  was ready for the Altrusa Tour of Homes in December.  When we agreed to the tour it sounded like enough time, but once we were working “Oh MAN!”  There was a lot more to do than we had time for.   It all worked out but I hated the stress.  I won’t do that to myself again.  So, our target date is a ways off.  More soon!
